Saint Peter's University Hospital Colorectal Cancer Awareness Program
This Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Saint Peter’s University Hospital is hosting a Colorectal Cancer Education and Awareness Program to inform the public about the importance of early screening, the impact of family history, and other factors that contribute to optimal colon health.
FACTS: Colorectal cancer is the 4th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S. and the 2nd leading cause of cancer death, yet this particular cancer can be prevented with screening and is highly treatable when detected early. There has been an increase in colorectal cancer diagnoses and deaths in younger adults, with a report from the American Cancer Society indicating that 1 in 5 people diagnosed are under the age of 55.
The progarm will include:
• Saint Peter’s gastroenterologist will present an information session with the opportunity for attendees to pose questions at the end of the program.
• Experience a walk- through the inflatable colon to learn more about human physiology and the importance of identifying and detecting pre-cancerous polyps.
• Schedule your upcoming colonoscopy onsite.
